Definitely interested to hear another example of Qantas Amex

I've had Qantas ultimate since 2008. Probably about 80k spend per year at the moment. Very disappointed with the current Qantas situation. I'm at 5000 odd LTC but can't see myself heading towards 14,000 anytime soon as I don't travel for work anymore. And I have upwards of 800,000 points...

I got Hiton, View and Wyndham hotels but not the ihg where I’m paying $7k tomorrow despite it being advertised in the email! Disappointing!

Thanks for the number guys, minor ticketing issues solved after a 5 minute wait and multiple 2-hour waits previously.

Excellent news if the Emirates network is retained fully in terms of points and award availability. Last year we flew SYD-SIN-DXB-CDG QF/EK/EK with the first leg economy on points. From recollection the EK flight left Singapore about 12:30am. This would be a perfect itiinerary with A380 on...

This looks good! Bloody false advertising!

Re: Woolworths rethinking Qantas - or a slow news day Hadn't thought about that. Good point but convenience still stands.

Re: Woolworths rethinking Qantas - or a slow news day It is loyalty to Qantas. Not necessarily profitable loyalty though they seem to be getting the better end of most of these partnerships. Points aren't Qantas tool of loyalty anymore though. That's status credits. Points are just an...

Re: Woolworths rethinking Qantas - or a slow news day I live at Bronte and have shopped at Woolies for most of the last 15 years because they've always been the best store in whichever locality I was in at the time (Campbelltown, Balmain, St Leonards, Marrickville). The added QFF was a bonus...

I asked the FA and he said sure.

Well, experience was great in-flight. Guess I'll have to wait and see for the Dubai Lounge/Sydney F Lounge experience as the Emirates Lounge at BKK is pretty basic in terms of services. Moet & Chandon Imperial Reserve was better than the Dom Perignon. The seating comfort is a definite step up...

I'm making my first ever F Flight from Bangkok to Sydney tomorrow evening with Emirates. Tickets were bought last Friday (work paying). I haven't had any contact directly from Emirates, what should I not miss out on? Pre-flight - Are there any hidden perks? Additional lounge services not...

Flew my last JASA last week from LAX to SYD. Thanks for everyone's help booking. Great finish to honeymoon and points / status credits credited 24 hours later.

Having had my wedding on the weekend, family from Adelaide were flying home Monday night. In the departure lounge my three-year old cousin was given a chocolate covered peanut by an unsuspecting older couple. Luckily his Mum saw it happen and they got it out of his mouth before swallowing but...

Cheers. Have locked it in!
